Sweet
Revenge - 3:58pm
The last of this year's five Best Picture Oscar nominees to get
a DVD release, Warner Home Video has finally announced a June
8th release date for Mystic River, Clint Eastwood's
dark, disturbing drama of child abuse and retribution. Warner
will release the film in three different versions: anamorphic
widescreen and full screen versions, plus a three-disc widescreen
special edition that includes one disc for the movie, one for
the extras and the third the film's original soundtrack CD. All
three versions include English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
tracks and trailers, with the three-disc set also featuring an
audio commentary with actors Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon, two
behind-the-scenes featurettes and interviews with Eastwood, Robbins
and Bacon. Retail will be $27.95 for the movie-only editions and
$39.95 for the special edition.
Goddess - 3:58m
The Greatest Movie of All Time gets the Greatest DVD of All Time?
A day that will go down in infamy, on July 27th MGM Home Entertainment
will release the Showgirls: V.I.P. Edition, a
deluxe box set unlike any other. Featuring the NC-17 cut of the
film presented in a new anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby
Digital 5.1 surround track, extras include an audio commentary
by Showgirls expert David Schmader, a video commentary by the
Scores Girls for the "Cheetah Club" scene, a subtitle
trivia track, an animated storyboard-to-film comparison, the original
making-of EPK and theatrical trailers. Other extras in the box
set include a deck of Showgirls playing cards, two Showgirls shot
glasses, Elizabeth Berkley photo cards and a series of party games:
"Sip or Strip," "Showgirls A-Z," "Bad
Tipper" and "Champagne Room." Predictably, none
of the film's original cast or filmmakers have participated in
the extras (nope, no Paul Verhoeven, Gina Gershon or Berkley).
Retail will be $39.95.
